No video output to 23" Apple from Windows XP

I just built a new computer with; Intel E6400 CPU, Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard and an EVGA 8800GTS video card. This setup will not give me any video output to my 23" Apple display that was working fine before. It will not post into the BIOS. I have not installed Windows yet. I hooked the computer up to a 19" Samsung LCD and it posted right into the BIOS with no problem. I talked to EVGA support and they think I may need a firmware update. Any idea where I could find out about this problem? The Apple is the second generation with the aluminum frame.

Let's be constructive:
BUT WHY doesn't it work? and how can we fix it/make it work?
my cheap 'non apple' video cable works fine initially, then a message pops up about it not being an 'offcial' cable or some such, then asks if I want to enable airplane mode (both with or without it already disabled), and disables video out completely. Contrary to the many others that have overpaid for your proprietary cables; I'm NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to pay you for your atrociously overpriced cables, because you're action of 'disabling' 3rd party cables is monopolistic in any sense, destroys any hope competition in this area, hinders innovation by third party peripheral developers, and is downright unamerican imho because it does so. You've gone to far this time apple! I've come to the conclusion, you obviously don't care about functionality, as your hardware is almost always overpriced, proprietary, good looking junk, and you keep shaking my pockets for more money with your overpriced accessories and constant barrage of itunes streamery.
Anyway, how can I use my device to do video out on this officially licensed apple dock I have? It doesn't seem to work; and I paid a lot of money for it. If there isn't a solution; maybe you should give out refunds for all the devices that now don't work? Thanks

  • Need info before switching to Apple from Windows

    I am looking at a laptop and need to run some windows based programs. I understand that Virtual PC is designed for that. However, I have two GPS programs, neither is Apple compatible. I use a Garmin for my motorcycle and Delorme for my laptop in my truck.
    Garmin said that some customers have used the Virtual PC program without any problems. Delorme will not comment.
    Hoping someone can give me some info. Changing GPS programs is not an option.

    The problem you will have is connecting to the GPS units from Virtual PC (lots of problems reported). If the software does not require connecting to a GPS unit then it may work.
    Hoping someone can give me some info. Changing GPS

    In that case keep your PC for the GPS and get a Mac for everything else.

  • External Video Output (in 32 Gives Me Blank Window

    Just Upgraded from Logic 7 on a G5 to Logic 9 running in 32 bit on a New Mac Pro. I have 2 displays attached to the mini ports and when I select external Video Output I get a blank window and the checkbox for External Video Output doesn't stay checked. Also Apple Cinema Desktop (which is what I used to select in Logic 7 and send it to the second monitor) doesn't even show up in the list.
    I know there is a problem with this in 64 bit, but it should woulk fine in 32, right?

    You'll need a third party i/o device to handle the conversion for you. If you have a MacPro, the Black Magic Intensity cards (at the low end) up to the AJA Kona series cards (at the upper end) will work. Mid way are the Matrox MXO series of external boxes - most of which will work with an expresscard34 capable laptop as well.

  • Media Live multiple video output

    I am considering buying a Media Live barebone as my HTPC.  The only thing holding me back is determining whether or not I am able to output to 2 different monitors as 2 separate displays.
    My goal is to mount a touchscreen monitor (encased in a custom picture frame) on a wall to act as a hub for my media center.  It would connect to the Media Live HTPC via VGA to show the XP MCE interface.  I would be able to control audio and video from this monitor.  Also, when not in use, it would scroll through pictures in the screen saver.  The HTPC would then connect to my receiver via HDMI.  It would output audio and video to my LCD TV.
    So basically, what I am looking to do, is control audio and video output to my TV from my touchscreen monitor.  If this is not possible, I could deal with displaying the same output on both the touchscreen and the TV, however I wish to use HDMI to keep high quality output.  So, I run in to the issue of my touchscreen monitor not having an HDMI port.
    Any ideas?

    I am not absolutely sure if I got you right, but the MSI Media Live barebone IS able to run two displays at the same time. I have got my HDTV connected via HDMI (signal passed through my Yamaha RX-V863 receiver) and a small touchscreen display via VGA, too at the same time. I think they cannot show different information at the same time but you can clone the screen on both displays.
    You just should not forget that most VGA displays cannot show full HD resolution, so if you do not own a receiver for upscaling your HDMI signal to full HD you will have to enjoy your video on TV in the same resolution as on the VGA touchscreen (mostly 800x600 pixels => 720p). But with a AV receiver connected for upscaling the signal you can show information on a small touchscreen and (cloned) information on your HD TV in full HD at the same time.
    There is only one thing that sucks: If you want to switch off or on your TV while the barebone is already running, you will get a video driver error since you "unplug" or "plug"  a non usb device while the system is running. So the video driver will be restored and you will have to repeat the procedure of activating the TV output and cloning the touchscreen's signal onto the TV (if you have bad luck you will even have to reboot the system before you can use the TV for cloned video output since the OS will not recognize the TV any more without a restart). By the way you can avoid this problem when you are using a AV receiver by keeping the receiver switched on while the barebone is switched on because then the output source will not vanish and Windows will be "satisfied".

  • Office 2004 for Mac:: Problems Importing Data from Windows

    I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but:
    I am switching from Windows and Outlook 2003 and trying to move my data from Outlook into Entourage. I was somewhat successful using O2M to import my Contacts and E-Mail.j However O2M created a bunch of .ics files that I can’t seem to get into Entourage’s calendar.
    I also have a lot of Outlook Notes and Tasks that I can’t seem to import or drag into Entourage’s Notes and Task windows.
    Any suggestions? I didn’t think it would be so hard. You would think that Microsoft as the vendor of both programs would have provided a smoother method of moving data between their programs.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Thanks for the response. I will check the site that you reference.
    Just out of curiousity--why is this not a good place to ask this question? As a new user to the Apple/Mac community am I relegated to asking questions only about Apple hardware and software written only by Apple? One of the enticements for switching over to Apple from Windows, besides getting tired of having to be a technical wizard, were all the platitudes about how easy it is to switch. Well it isn't all that easy.
    Don't get me wrong, I am loving my new MacBook Pro and I imagine once I get my Outlook data over to the Mac I will be really happy. But given that all my email, notes, tasks, calendar and contacts for years have been on my Windows machine I would have liked a little less hair pulling trying to get it over to my mac. It has not been clean and it hasn't been easy [over a week now].
    Somehow I thought "Well I'm probably not the first person to be taking this route and where would I find the largest number of people who may have already gone before me and could offer directions/suggestions." I did do my research and based on the number of postings concluded that Office2004 for Mac was the best choice if I was using Outlook on Windows and needed to continue to use Word/Excel/Powerpoint with the rest of the business world. And it did appear from all the postings that a lot of people use this package.
    Again, this is not meant to come off harsh, but it is a little off-putting to be told "This isn't the appropriate place for this question"
    Thanks

  • TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

    Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

    I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
    Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

  • Video output from iphone4 to TV

    Hey you guys!
    Just wanted to know, If i have my iphone pluged in to my TV via the
    RGB (video) + L/R (Audio) cables i got from the Apple store, Can i acctually use my TV as the monitor instead of the iphone4 itself ?

    And if so, can you give me some tips please ?
    Thanks

    So how does Steve Jobs do it at those Apple events he holds?
    He has a special iPhone. (Apple does favors for him.) Since that phone is always used with a cable connected, it doesn't need a battery, so has space available to add extra circuitry for digital video output. Most customers would rather have a phone with a battery.

  • Video Output Windows 7

    So I recently upgraded my video card from a X1900XT to an eVGA 9800GT which I flashed to use the mac 8800GT bios. It works perfectly under OS X but when I try it with windows the monitor goes into low power mode as soon as I start booting (no video output of any kind). Oh and its a Mac Pro 1,1
    If I boot with X1900XT AND 9800GT at once, I can install the nVidia drivers, remove the ATI drivers, shut down, pull the X1900XT, I can boot part way, it shoes the windows logo, blah blah, when its supposed to show the login screen it goes to low power mode again. Windows itself is still working fine, just no video output.
    I can however boot just fine with safe mode.
    Any ideas what is going on?

    Have you tried holding the Windows key and tapping the P key?
    As there is no support for Windows 7 for your laptop by HP at this writing, this may indeed be difficult.
    Have you checked in Device manager to see if any drivers have a yellow exclamation mark next to them?

  • Clips from Project bin to source monitor causing video output to go out of sync(CS6 and CC)

    Any footage I double-click or drag from the Project window to the Source monitor causes my video output to go out of sync. When I put the clips in the timeline, video goes back in sync and I'm able to view video output.  My monitors are connected to a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt(9.7.5) via component and HDMI. Is this normal behavior in Premiere or is there a setting to enable this? No issues doing this in FCP7(clips from Project window to Canvas).
    Can someone with an I/O from AJA, Matrox, or Blackmagic please test this out for me. Thanks...

    Is it possible to display Window PC video output on an iMac via Thunderbolt?

    Currently the ThunderBolt iMacs can only be used as an external display by other ThunderBolt Macs.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/30822.html
    When there is a Windows PC with ThunderBolt released it might work as well.
    And/or when there will be ThunderBolt devices which enable this.
    The Intensity Extreme http://www.blackmagic-design.com/uk/products/intensity/ might allow this once it is released.

  • Can't watch TVshow/movie on mac(itunes) and switch video output to Apple TV

    I just got my 2nd gen Apple TV, great product. From the website and the announcement I was to believe that you could be watching a movie/tv show on your mac (using itunes) and have the video automatically "pushed" to your TV by selecting the Apple TV within itunes (continuous play), like music does. I know you can go through the Computers Menu directly on the Apple TV to gain entry to the same content but I thought you could continually watch the show and switch the output to the Apple TV.
    Maybe this only be applicable for iPod/iTouch/iPad devices when the new iOS is released with airplay? Or maybe this will become an available function for itunes on macs when they enhance airplay with the new ios? Or maybe I am missing something really basic.
    Let me know ....thanks

  • Recover videos from iphone after cut and paste from windows explorer?

    From windows explorer Iphone Internal Storage, I used cut to transfer 2 big videos from iphone to windows, but the videos are corrupted now in windows, and no videos in iphone! There is any way to recover them? thanks...

    When you came across this case, you should be careful to recover Video on iPhone.
    1. Fish your iPhone out of the water as quickly as possible.
    2. Dry it off with a towel or something similar. If it is still on, turn it off immediately. Note: running power through wet electronics can damage them beyond repair.
    3. Remove the battery, SIM card etc off the phone. If possible, remove the rear glass panel too. Apple uses two special 5-point Pentalobe screws to secure the back.
    4. Grab a bowl and fill it with uncooked rice or you can also put your iPhone 5 in with a bunch of silica packets.
    5. Bury the iPhone in a bowl of rice and cover it up.
    6. Last step is: wait day or two.
    The google+ teach you how to recover video from iPhone: https://plus.google.com/106752978783334975190/posts/RL9EhQcLgEx
    After this, you may chech your iPhone, if it is damaged, you should recover lost file from iPhone, it may be recover, if you are lucky.

  • Video output separate from screen

    This may be more complicated than I suspect. We have had a string of thiefts from my office lately. The thieves are only taking things they can fit in their pockets, loose change, digital cameras, digital video cameras, stuff like that. My iMac is always on and running in screen saver mode. I'd like to have the imac camera signal being fed to my Security DVR device, while the screen saver is still running. I can get the signal to my DVR via the video output, but of course it only show what I see on the primary display. Can I separate those two video signals and capture what the camera see's while the screen saver is on?
    Thank you,
    Todd

    Have you tried using *extended desktop mode* and setting the external display (ie your DVR) as the primary display? That would make your iMac display the secondary display and provided you don't drag any windows onto it, it should only show a blank screen.
    You will need to have a separate display connected to your DVR so you can see things to set it up once you switch the iMac into extended desktop mode & set the external display as your primary display
    You do this in +System Prefs > Displays+ but the controls for the external display only appear when you have an external display connected. You start extended desktop mode by UNchecking the mirror displays item. Once you are sure everything is working correctly, you could turn off the external display while your DVR continues to record.
